Ummmm....doesn't it open the default system browser to redirect you to a link location? I think (and as far as I remember) that is what it should do....that is the point where some people had some issue (in displaying the specific URL and get the correct reply from the browser)....

If that is the case, then this is another issue that you might have in your system....

You have to be sure there is a default browser associated with the specific filename the system tries to open (for example www.example.com/authenticate.html). If your system doesn't know how to open the specific file type it won't open the browser and thus won't redirect you to the URL.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
I used to experience the same problem, several years ago with another device I had, when for an unknown reason, my device lost the association of all .html and .htm files. The problem is....I don't remember how I fixed it.....if I restore the system.....hard reset it or somehow I made again manually the association..... :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
During the tests, Opera Browser was not able to send the auth token back to mysquare. So, mysquare will always open IE rather than system's default browser. This is by design.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
Oh.....ok sorry you have changed this.....yes I know opera had this issue I had it as well :P :P

Flagging and Creating

Hey All, just wondering if it is me or if anyone else has an issue trying to either Flag a Location or trying to create a new location?

If I try to flag a location as either closed, duplicated or mislocated I get a message that says, "Unable to flag this place."

And if I try to create a new location, I get a message that says, "*** was not created." The *** would be whatever name I had chosen for the new place.

Performance Issues

I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing issues with MySquare (v2.0.1) but here are the issues that I experience:

Locating Places

Upon first lauching the client - the Places tab seems to locate an area that is no where near where I am. Even with the GPS having a full signal - it doesn't seem to get an accurate (or even approximate location for that matter). Is there a registry change that needs to be made to allow for better location finding performance?

Connecting to FourSquare

If I launch the client and it finds 'nearby Places' - and then I lose a data connection (or go into an area that has poor cell phone signal reception) - upon regaining the data connection - the client is not able to connect to foursquare again (no matter how many times I hit refresh)

GPS Performance

Maybe the freeware version has issues with obtaining a GPS fix - but it seems to take a while for a GPS fix and it seems to lose it fairly easily if I'm not stationary.

I have uninstalled and re-installed the software and have made sure that I authenticated myself accordingly. But these issues were there in version 2.0.0 as well. I'm using it on an HD2 (T-Mobile version) and the GPS seems to work fairly well for other apps that utilize it (weather on HTC Sense, google maps, Bing).

Since WinMoSquare no longer works - this is the only application that I'm aware of that is able to connect to foursquare for windows mobile 6.x devices. i would like to be able to continue to check-in via foursquare and this app seems to be okay - but I may not use it if I continue to have these issues.

Does anyone else have these same problems or is it just me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
You mentioned that your GPS works fairly well with other applications?

Generally, with Google Maps or GPS Viewer, I get locks in about 5 seconds. Sometimes a little longer, but typically around 5 seconds. If you are typically waiting more than 15 to 20 seconds for a lock, then it probably can be improved.

Fone Fanatic found some great registry values to make aGPS work much better and made a cab for it.

Certain phones have very poor GPS performance out of the box, such as the Touch Pro. Even the Touch Pro 2 isn't that good out of the box. But those setting dramatically improve them.

MySquare has been working great for me for over a week now. I am very impressed and will soon be upgrading to the paid version.

You might also try running GPS Viewer and let it locate you before launching MySquare. Once the GPS locates you through any app, the location is quickly available to any other app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
Funny to quote my own post! As of today, I am no longer having a problem creating locations. I have created 3 today in very different places and it works fine.

But, I still cannot flag a place. Still says it is unable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyki:
Just got the email and installed 20 minutes later but when I run the application I get the wait icon for a few seconds and then nothing. Literally nothing happens, the start menu even remains on the screen.

This is my personal ROM with 23673 SYS and .NET 3.5 is cooked in, all other apps requiring .NET work fine.

:(

BUG REPORT:

Application will not launch on TouchPro2 CDMA w/ EnergyROM WinMo6.5 build 21908

After clicking the application the wait indicator comes up for a few moments then disappears without anything happening afterwords, it is as if the application crashed before it launched.

If there is a bug report file I can send please let me know and I will be more than happy to.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hartleyshc:
so how much is the premium version and when can we buy it?

im ready to buy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyki:
Yes, this is exactly what is happening on my TP2 with Sprint.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fino35:
same here w/ mightyRom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christophocles:
Same here with TP2 CDMA and Energy.RHODCDMA.23673.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.24

Also noticed that the MySquare.Launcher.exe process keeps running in the background and apparently does nothing or hangs...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyki:
Ok, so do any CDMA users have the app working at all?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gronde481:
i have a sprint tp2 and same as every other tp2...wait icon and then nothing....my buddy with an omnia 2 got it to load...but the phone is not activated so he really cant "play" with it...does the developer have an omnia 2 and therefore it would work on his and my buddys but not other winmo devices....i just need to buck up and go to android....winmo is obselete
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christophocles:
agreed. but I have at LEAST one more month until I can do that (samsung EPIC august 20). I'd really like a nice foursquare app in the meantime :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GenEwic:
Thanks! I like that feature. So far its working well on my TP2(Tilt2). Maybe it's just the CDMA phones having problems since it works fine on my GSM version.

will you be adding features like how many points you receive right after you check-in, approximate distance of venues, check-in history, tips, or stats/leaderboard? I can't wait to try out the map integration though since that feature is lacking on all the other applications I've tried (even on other platforms)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gronde481:
lol i know i have till november 1 (the gf used the one that was on my account, so i have to wait till hers) which will give me enough time to either A get the EPIC or be wait till the holiday season and get something better maybe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GoghUA:
Just tested on my Verizon Touch Pro 2 running Mr. X's custom ROM and got the same result as the others with CDMA phones are reporting.

Was looking forward to trying it out since WinMoSquare is so buggy... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tcooper185:
Same results as others with CDMA phones. Touch Diamond with EnergyROM here. No luck running this app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Working great on my Omnia i900L, will play with it and see how it performs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wowstigmark:
Thanks for working on this!

I'm getting the same load screen a couple seconds then nothing. TP on CDMA

ps-winmosquare is average at best :S
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deers:
work faster than winmosquare on htc diamond p3700. on my second opening this app, the app is suddenly close and it said thread error. But on third open until now is no error report. oh one more, the gps positioning seems inappropriate, cause my current place it doesn't appear on it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Andr3Wcz:
Hey man, thats really great app.. I will buy a premium version. Could you please add also option to add a new location (using map - for premium users)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TommyR:
So far works great on my GSM HTC TP2 with WM 6.1. It's very quick (in compare to WinMoSquare), with well aranged interface (I especially appreciate the venue icons which helps in orientation in search results).

I only miss separate tab for my account statistics and as Andr3Wcz the option to create venue.

Summary: can't wait for paid version, even now is mySquare worth for it! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pedaah:
This looks really good, some little keyboard glitches, if you input data, and finish, the touch keyboard will not retract, hide itself again, otherwise it all works fine. looks good and the initial tutorial section is inspired :)

Posted on It Here

Really good stuff
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
Hi people,

Thanks on all feedback;

About the paid version:

I will release it after the beta period, but I have no date to tell you.

About the "create place":

That feature is already there. Just scroll through all places and you will see it on the end of the list. Just because you need to check if it already exists before creating a new one.

Known issues:

It seems that it does not work yet on CDMA phones. If you own a CDMA and want to be an alpha tester, add me on AIM.

Time off in App

I just wanted to post an update to the time being off in the app for my posts. I have now been able to post in two different countries and this is what I have noticed with the time of peoples checkin when using Mysquare. When I am in Wisconsin USA, everybody's checkins show 1 hour earlier than when they actually checked in. So if I or my friend checks in right now, MySquare will say that they checked in an hour ago.

Right now I am in Sao Paulo Brazil and when I check in, the app tells me that I checked in -1 hour ago. Basically saying I checked in an hour into the future. MySquare has also bumped all of my friends checkins by 1 hour in the same direction. So if I compare what I see on the Foursquare website to what is on MySquare, I am seeing that MySquare has subtracted an hour from when they actually checked in.

Am I clear? It's hard for me to tell if I am talking in circles!:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
Hi, osiedacz!

You were absolutely clear. But we have to investigate further. MySquare does not sum nor subtract hours from what the 4sq API returns, it just parses data. When you were at USA and BRA, do you double checked your timezone, including daylight savings?

Btw, welcome to my country... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aqualls:
I have the connection issue also. Even with no loss of data and only a half hour to an hour between check-ins, I can't connect for hours. Then all of a sudden it will connect. Other than that, love the UI of the app and how smooth it works. Always had lag with other apps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
Hey, thank you for the welcome to Brasil!

Yes, my timezone and daylight savings are all correct. I am in Sao Paulo and my time zone on the HD2 is set to -3 Brasilia. If I compare the list of friends checkins on the phone using MySquare to the data on the Foursquare website, they are all off by 1 hour. For example, MySquare says I checked in at my hotel -5 minutes ago (that is negative 5), but the Foursquare webpage says I checked in 55 minutes ago. 55 minutes ago is correct.

I tried manually changing my time zone on the phone and then looking at the checkins list again on MySquare and here is what I find.

-2 Mid-Atlantic = all checkins on MySquare are 1 hour longer ago then on the FourSquare website

-6 Central US = all checkins on MySquare are 1 hour longer ago then on the FourSquare website

-4 Santiago = all checkins on MySquare are 1 hour shorter ago then on the FourSquare website

What I am seeing is that the app is off by DST for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. When I pick a time zone north of the equator, the checkin times are +1 and when I pick a time zone south of the equator, the checkin times are -1 hour. But never right on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
I have issues connecting from time to time also. I have recently noticed that if the checkin or friends screens won't connect, if I go to the tips nearby screen, it connects and then things go well from there.

I have also had random issues when checking in. Sometime I get the list and can select the place I want to check in just fine, but when I checkin, I get a screen telling me the app couldn't connect. But it actually did connect just fine and my checkin posted to Foursquare and Facebook just fine. I am still trying to find some common denominator with this so I can reproduce it.

Would it be possible to make the app "time out" an option we can set in the registry? That way I could try some longer numbers to see if it might wait longer for the answer to come back from FourSquare?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0dcm:
I'm also having these issues, but after the first cannot connect and I press refresh or back it works. Besides this issue, I'm enjoying the app, and I've found new places to visit.

I'm glad I paid the £3 for the app as it goes towards the continued development of MySquare.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulloft:
Have been using this app for a few months with only a few connection problems.

But I have not been able to connect at all for over a week now.

I have tried re-authorising, pressing 'back' and all the usual things I have tried in the past but cannot get a list of places to come up. I just get the 'cannot connect to foursquare try again' error message.

I can usually get the leaderboard but that's about it, no places, no tips, no friends list.

Anyone any ideas what else I can try to get a connection?

Thanks

Oh, and I do have the latest version (I think) 2.0.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qbom:
Hi

When are you thinking to upgrade MySquare to have the possibility of upload a photo to a Venue.

Thanks in advance

Jorge

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olá

Tudo bem...

Estás a pensar em fazer o upgrade do Mysquare para poder juntar photos como se consegue noutros SO como Iphone, Android e BB.

Se sim para quando se pode esperar esse upgrade... seria expectacular...

Obrigado por esta excelente aplicação para WM.

Jorge
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SchleppTilt:
I am having connection issues as well with 2.0.1 version on an AT&T Tilt 2 running |July 4| Energy 6.5.X|29022 Rom.

It "mostly" says 'cannot connect to foursquare try again' in the places and friends tabs, but will "almost" always connect correctly in the tips tab.

Very often when it does actually connect in the places table it shows me places in Lake St Mary, FL. I live in St Louis, MO. If I do a search while the Lake St Mary, FL places are showing, it will give me the proper "close" location to me at the time.

GPS gets a connection very quickly and I always have full bar data connection.

This same behavior happens all over the Missouri area, as I try to use it all the time to check into places.

This 'cannot connect to foursquare try again' problem does not seem to common, but has been brought up recently. I have tried the whole gambit of radio versions, but with no change.

Thanks for any help or feedback
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
I have noticed the issue woo with the places and fiends tab and also noticed that the tips tab almost always comes up well. I also noticed that if I go to the tips tab to get a connection, that I can usually work fine from there. Once the tips tab comes up, the other two generally work fine.

One other connection issue that I have had lately is that in certain places when I check in, I get the wait curser, but the confirmation of check in screen doesn't come up. I get the "cannot connect..." message. But if I go over to the who is here tab, I see that my check in went through. And even if I try to check in again, it still says I "cannot connect". I wonder if logging while this happens will tell me what is going on?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hotrodwinston:
feature request

Love the program - linked to my facebook account lets me use places like all my android and crapple (Ifone) friends.

Just a little feature request.

My house has a metal roof (as do many places I go) and gps cannot lock but cell-id location in my area is TERRIBLE ! It will place me in a city over 90 mins drive away! (no lie!)

So my idea is a list of favorites that I can check in at whenever I dont have gps lock.

Could this be implemented in future versions? Or is there already some other way of doing this?

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tskok:
still the same problem, cannot tap the authenticate, any other options?

Checking In To Places With Specials

Hi Marcos, I think I figured out my random issue of checking in, but getting a message saying MySquare could not connect. The common factor is that all the places this occurs at are running specials.

As a reminder, this is the issue where MySquare finds all the places around me just fine, I pick the one I want to check-in to and after I click the Check-In button, MySquare reports back that it could not connect to FourSquare. But, the Check-In actually goes through, I just don't get the confirmation screen showing me I checked in.

This occurs at any places I try to Check-In at that have "Specials Here".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
Indeed I can confirm that from the time I have put Specials on my place, i get the exact same behavior as described above. Indeed this is a new issue for the app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DBoom:
Version 2.0.2

I just got notified that version 2.0.2 is available. Does anyone know what the changes are w.r.t version 2.0.1? Change log in the opening post of this thread does not (yet) show version 2.0.2

And what is remarkable is that I had 'check for updates at startup' unchecked, but still got notified that a new version was available. (bug?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
2.0.2

Hey All, I am running the 2.0.2 version and I still have the same two issues with checking in at a place running a special and also with the checkin time as viewed in MySquare being off by an hour. Both the checkin and time report correctly to the FourSquare website, but in the MySquare program don't work right.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
Confirmed...same here as well :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andreimoto:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bcaauwe:
Other potential issues

I just got back from a roadtrip and can confirm that I kept getting the "Cannot connect to Foursquare" message for venues with specials as well as times being only in 1 hour increments.

Another potential issue we found on this roadtrip was whenever we unlocked a badge we also recieved the "Cannot connect to Foursquare" message. Wondering if the response from 4sq for that information just cannot be parsed by the new app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
I suspect you are right on with that. Maybe it has to do with the graphics used in those messages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dragon84:
2.0.2

Can't use with htc prophet WM 6.5

Can anybody tell me why?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] satyr8:
2.0.2

I have updated at version 2.0.2 on my htc topaz WM6.5

I can't connect with foursquare ("Cannot connect to Foursquare, try again" for all operations)

With version 2.0.1 (buy version) was ok

where can I download the 2.0.1 version?

edit: I downgrade at 2.0.0 versione... the connection still don't works.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcelCosta:
Same here.... the app doesn't work anymore. (Cannot connect to Foursquare, try again).

I would be glad to buy but it doesn't function.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dostale:
I installed the software on a second WM phone, and still got the same error. Looks like it does something to your account, and then you cannot connect. Does anyone have a fix?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wllaw2:
Same here. Last Sunday I still can use it, but on Wednesday, it suddenly cannot be used. It kept saying, "Cannot connect to foursquare, try again"

I tried to update it to the latest version MySquare 2.0.2, and the result is still the same. Anybody know why? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
I don't know what is your issue but I am using the application continuously without any issues. Some issues that I also had were temporarily (for 1-2 hours at top) and then everything was ok.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wllaw2:
I have no idea as well. At first I thought, I haven't installed the updated version, then I updated it to 2.0.2, then Re-Auth again. Still cannot connect.

The strange thing is I can view the Leaderboard, others like; friends and tips nearby cannot be viewed. And it seems that not only me having this problem. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
What is your connection type? GPRS or 3G ? or WiFi? It makes a great difference the quolity of data connection, as in a limited time the application tries to get a list of things which can be big and that is the reason, smaller lists (like your friends and leaderboard) are fetching easier.....

Can you please try to connect through WiFi or a good 3G signal a tell us? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] satyr8:
perhaps because these data are already in the cache ...

I tried deleting the entire program folder (to try to solve the problem of the connection), then reinstalled the application and data are gone also to the tips and friends

I tried it with GPRS, 3G and with the shared PC connection.

However, before the upgrade, it worked with any type of connection

I tried to remove the authorization from the foursquare site, reauth again but still does not work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dostale:
I have tried both through 3G and WiFi. Still getting cannot connect. I also removed it entirely, deleted folder and reinstalled. Still no connection :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcelCosta:
I did the same steps and and also HardReset my Phone. No success.

Does someone still have it working ?
